A woman has testified that an attorney for Songz’s alleged victim offered her up to $200,000 to change her story and make Trey the bad guy, a claim the attorney denies.
Trey Songz in the middle of a sexual assault lawsuit filed by a woman named Jauhara Jeffries who says he violated her at a 2017 New Year’s Eve party in Miami.
A transcript from a recent court hearing in the case, where a woman named Mariah Thielen testified that, she met with Jeffries’ attorney, Ariel Mitchell, in April 2021 at a bar in Miami. Thielen says Mitchell smelled like weed during the meeting, and was carrying a gun.
According to the transcript, Thielen who was with Jeffries the night of Trey’s alleged assault says Mitchell offered to pay between $100,000 to $200,000 if she will lie and say she witnessed Trey sexually assault Jeffries and claim that Trey assaulted her too. Mitchell allegedly said she was trying to paint Trey as “the next R. Kelly.”
Thielen says Mitchell’s plan was to take her allegations to Trey’s team in hopes of coming to a monetary settlement, and her lies would help to make that amount larger, according to the transcript.
Thielen claims she turned the offer down saying she wouldn’t have lied for even $10 million and reported the meeting to Trey’s legal team a short time later.
Mitchell denies the claims, saying “We’re highly confident and certain the court will find the witness committed perjury. Parties are still awaiting the judges’ further instructions on how to proceed given the witness’s inconsistent testimony during the hearing.”
Mitchell’s partner, George Vrabeck, withdrew from the case but Mitchell says that’s only because, “He will be representing me against the parties involved in this disgraceful motion brought by Trey Songz and his representatives.”
